📍 Edgewater, FL — October 13, 2025
A potentially dangerous camper fire was swiftly brought under control Monday evening thanks to the coordinated efforts of Edgewater Fire/Rescue and The Volusia County Professional Firefighters Association.
The blaze broke out in a residential area of Edgewater, prompting an immediate response from local emergency services. Upon arrival, crews found the camper partially engulfed in flames, with smoke billowing into the evening sky. Firefighters from both departments worked in tandem to suppress the fire, deploying hoses and thermal imaging equipment to assess hot spots and prevent the flames from spreading to nearby homes and wooded areas.
The rapid containment of the fire was credited to the seamless communication and tactical execution between the two agencies. “This kind of inter-agency collaboration is vital,” said a spokesperson from Edgewater Fire/Rescue. “When seconds count, having trained professionals who can operate as one unit makes all the difference.”
No injuries were reported, and the camper was unoccupied at the time of the incident. Investigators are currently working to determine the cause of the fire, though early reports suggest it may have originated near the camper’s electrical system.
Neighbors gathered at a safe distance, watching the crews work with precision and calm under pressure. Several residents expressed their appreciation for the firefighters’ quick action, noting that the situation could have escalated had it not been for their timely arrival.
The event serves as a reminder of the critical role first responders play in safeguarding the community, and the importance of mutual aid agreements that allow departments to support one another during emergencies.
